The Body Map Edition: Arms and Legs

The fourth intention of Constructive Rest is to Promote an Accurate, Adequate Body Map.

With this guide, along with the Balance and Breathing guides, you will be invited, while in the context of Constructive Rest, to revise and refine your body map. In order to move with the best coordination and efficiency, it’s important that you have no misconceptions either consciously or unconsciously about your body’s structure, the function of those structures, or their size.

Learn the true arm joints, their location, and how they move. Experience the 3 rotations available with each arm. Enjoy the rhythmic and coordinated movement from the inside edge of your scapulae (shoulder blades) on your back, and your sternoclavicular joints on your frint, all the way out to the tip of your little finger.

Discover the coordinated movement of your leg joints. Clarify where your hip joints are and aren’t! Understand that your knee cap is not your knee and you do not, after all, have an “L” shaped foot!
